Russia is its own thing, not part of Europe/Asia.
Siberia is part of Asia.

And what about Albania, is that Europe or Asia? And how is Ukraine any more European than Russia, considering that the majority of the people in Luhansk are Russian or at the very least speak Russian as their mother tongue. If Russia is its own thing, then by default Ukraine is in it as well.

Most Eastern City of Europe can be found in Luhansk Province, Ukraine.
Russia does not border on Turkey. There are three countries in Europe (Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan) that are entirely east of any point in Ukraine.

You can't just make up geography and then declare it to be true because you say so

Siberia is also part or Russia, which means it cannot be part of Asia, because Russia is not part of Asia. You said so.

I said the Russian border plus Turkish border plus Black Sea is the boundary.


Siberia isn't really Russia

You mean continents grow and recede, according to where the Russian border is? All those years Ukraine was in the USSR, it went into Europe for a while, and now it's back in Russia, it's own thing? What about Kaliningrad, on the Baltic Sea? Not in Europe, because it's in Russia? From Alaska, that's not Asia across he Bering Strait? And Alaska was not part of North America until the USA bought from Russia, which is is own thing?

Kaliningrad is in Poland (Europe), under control of Russia.

Ukraine (Europe) is not part of Russia/USSR anymore.

Siberia (Asia) is everything East of the Ural Mountains, under control of Russia.

Alaska is part of the USA (North America), used to be under control of Russia.

Because Karelia belongs to Finland.

Because Taganrog is located West of the Don and Donets rivers.

Because they are the foundation of Russia.

How is Siberia not really Russia? 90% of the people living there are Russian, if anything Siberia is more Russian than European Russia. Furthermore by your understanding everything west of the Mississippi is not realy the USA. Plus the op was talking about Europe in geographic terms not political or cultural ones, and political boundaries are not geographic because they are just invisible lines. Also that would mean that Crimea just vanished from Europe and became their own thing.
